With an overview of women sculptors from Harriet Hosmer to Sarah Lucas we explore the work of 50 great women artists who have forged a name for themselves in a male arena, broken rules, pushed boundaries and inspired us with their visionary creations. Includes: Maggi Hambling, Sophie Ryder, Helaine Blumenfeld, Rachel Ara and many more.

"There is need for books to celebrate new thought, new ideas, new people and this is what it achieves."--Guy Portelli, Sculptor "Email "; "50 Women Sculptors is a beautifully illustrated book which presents the world of undervalued and under recognised women sculptors from the past as well as a selection from the present, with in depth interviews on their life, inspirations, working methods and use of all materials mentioned above - an improvement compared with the past but there is still room for full equality to be achieved. For those interested in sculpture, whether practising sculptors or researchers, or those at the start of their careers, this is an extremely valuable book and perfect introduction to encourage further research and interest in sculpture by women." -Lorna Green, sculptor and environmentalist; "It shows a wide range of sculptural practice with interesting interviews giving insight into the artist's process." - Clare Burnett, president Royal Society of Sculptors.
